Oh, "this old thing."---A Pushcart Nomination

My story Death Pool, published in March 2018 by Ink In Thirds was nominated for a Pushcart Award. I originally posted about it HERE. Yes, I've had a lot of reprints or progressions from previously written about work.

Since March 2018 we lost:

Verne Troyer

Verne Troyer
 · 49

January 1st, 1969 - April 21st, 2018

Needed help with depression and alcohol abuse. Came up a little short.







This little nugget and pun is from the website STIFFS. Verne would have been worth 41 points in a death pool---the top point man and money maker for most 2018 pools.

Death Pool is my fifteenth Pushcart Nomination, and my first for 2018. Very grateful to Editor Grace Black for publishing this piece, and then nominating it along with these folks! Good luck to all.
